![]() ![]() Anderson is a talented actress but I felt the writing did not give her much to work with other than mostly look forlorn and confused. I was, however, impressed by Marley’s performance which was pretty solid for a non-actor, and he brought a welcome liveliness to his scenes. ![]() And, like most romantic movies, the rate in which they fall madly in love is a bit too quick to be believable. Marley and Anderson have okay chemistry but it’s nothing to write a song about. The story of star-crossed lovers from two opposing worlds is as old as Romeo and Juliet (or likely even older) but One Love presents an interesting spin on the trope. But for obvious reasons Aaron and the Pastor are not too happy about them spending time together, and Kassa’s rasta brethren Bobo (Michael Holgate) also opposes the relationship because Serena is a Christian. Her quiet life begins to unravel when she meets Kassa (Ky-Mani Marley, reggae artist and son of the legendary Bob Marley), a charismatic reggae singer who tells her he saw her in a vision and is immediately enamoured with her voice (and later with the rest of her). She is domineered by her rigid and xenophobic father Pastor Johnson (Winston Stona) who is pressuring her to marry Aaron, the church keyboardist and accountant. Serena was raised in the church and on the surface is a “good Christian girl” but she has her doubts. Elba plays Aaron, the somewhat stuffy and shady fiancé of Serena (Jamaican actress and reggae/dancehall vocalist Cherine Anderson). I can count on my fingers how many times the accent has been butchered on film by non-Jamaicans, and I would need to start adding some toes. And kudos to the English actor for pulling off a pretty convincing Jamaican accent, which is no small feat. Review: Wait, is that Idris Elba? That IS Idris Elba! During his time on megahit series The Wire and years before starring in crime procedural Luther or joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Mr Elba appeared in this 2003 Jamaican musical romance drama. The film was written by Trevor D Rhone ( The Harder They Come) and directed by Rick Elgood and Don Letts ( Dancehall Queen). But their romance is stymied by their differing beliefs, a vengeful fiancé, and a sleazy record executive.
